On reaching Kailash Parvat, Nandi stopped him from going inside because at that time, Shiva and Parvati were sporting fun. Maharishi Bhrigu then decided to visit Lord Shiva at Kailash Parvat. To this day, there are very few temples devoted to Lord Brahma (the notable exception being the Brahma Temple at Pushkar). Angry with disrespect, Maharishi Bhrigu cursed Lord Brahma that no one will worship Brahma in Kaliyug. Lord Brahma got angry and wanted to punish Maharishi but Maha Saraswati, wife of Lord Brahma saved Maharishi from his anger. On reaching Brahmalok Maharishi displayed utter disrespect to Lord Brahma on purpose. He went on to see Lord Brahma in Brahmalok. Upon being entrusted with the task Maharishi Bhrigu decided to test Lord Brahma first. With the consent of all the great saints present there, it was decided that Maharishi Bhrigu will test and decide who was pre-eminent. All the great saints and sages could not decide that out of the Trinity Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Shiv who is pre-eminent and to whom should they offer Pradhanta (Master) of that yagya. Many great sages gathered at the bank of river Saraswati to participate in Maha yagya organized at that time. Only a small percentage of the original horoscopes of Bhrigu Samhita remained with the Brahmin community which are now scattered throughout various parts of India. The most unfortunate and destructive event was the destruction of the Nalanda university library where several thousands of the horoscopes compiled by Maharashi Bhrigu had been stored. Some parts of the 'Bhrigu Samhita' were taken away by them. The invaders captured these prime assets of the Brahmins. The total permutations/ possible horoscope charts that can be drawn with this is about 45 million.ĭuring foreign invasions of India by Muslim warriors from the north west in the 12th and 13th centuries, the Brahmin community became dispersed all over India. After that, Maharishi Bhrigu gave his predictions on different types of horoscopes compiled by him with the help of Lord Ganesha in a brief and concise manner. These Horoscopes were based upon the planetary positions of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu (North Node of the Moon) and Ketu (South Node of the Moon). This study culminated in the birth of the science (shastra) of determining the quality of time (Hora) and is the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. This formed a database for further research and study. He compiled about 500,000 horoscopes and recorded the life details and events of various persons. Maharishi Bhrigu was the first compiler of predictive astrology, Jyotisha. The Bhrigu Samhita is an astrological (jyotish) classic attributed to Maharishi Bhrigu during the Vedic period, although the available evidence suggests that it was compiled over a period of time by the various sishyas (students in the lineage) of Maharishi Bhrigu. According to popular tradition, only about a hundredth of these horoscopes have survived to this age. This treatise is said to contain over 5 million horoscopes, in which he wrote down the fate of every being in the universe. Maharishi Bhrigu is credited as the father of Hindu astrology and the first astrological treatise Bhrigu Samhita is attributed to his authorship. In the Bhagavad Gītā, Lord Krishna refers to Sage Bhrigu, by stating "among the Rishis, I am Bhrigu". Sage Bhrigu finds mention in the Vayu Purana, where he is shown present during the great Yagna of Daksha Prajapati (his father-in-law). The sage Chyavana is also said to be his son. He has one more son, who is better known than Bhrigu himself - Shukra, learned sage and guru of the asuras. Thus in some traditions, Laxmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu is said to be his daughter. His daughter Sri or Shri, married Lord Vishnu (Narayana). He has two sons by her, named Dhata and Vidhata. He is married to Khyati, the daughter of Daksha. īhrigu is a ManasaPutra (wish-born-son) of Lord Brahma, who simply wished him into existence, to assist in the process of creation, for this reason he is also considered one of the Prajapatis. Maharishi Bhrigu (Sanskrit: महऋषि भृगु) was one of the seven great sages, the Saptarshis, in ancient India, one of the many Prajapatis (the facilitators of Creation) created by Brahma (The God of Creation), the first compiler of predictive astrology, and also the author of Bhrigu Samhita, the astrological (Jyotish) classic written during the Vedic period, Treta yuga.
